We must not let ICE gestapo leave Minneapolis without the murderers of Alex and Renee be held accountable.
There needs to be arrests made.

LA Lakers Co-owner Ed Roski Jr’s firm ‘Majestic Reality’ is linked to a proposed $80M ICE-Gestapo concentration camp deal in Texas which could imprison up to 9.5K human beings.

The endless evil inhumanity is disgusting and frankly exhausting. Billionaires are destroying us.

Russell Vought is the architect of Project 2025, the plan to end our democracy and install Donald Trump as our dictator.

Vought is Trump's director of the Office of Management and Budget. Vought controls our money as if it belonged to Trump
putting the US deeper in debt, while inflation soars.

US Politicians are very happy to keep framing the Epstein files as partisan. Because it shifts the focus from the real issue.

This was never about politics. It’s about mainly rich, white, powerful men believing they could do whatever the hell they wanted and get away with it.

Senator Bernie Sanders is spot on.
Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

If the Peace Board actually becomes a real board, peace will not be a part of it. What we saw in Palestine, we will see in Cuba, Iran, and any other place they want to "invade and rehab" into money-making opportunities for the richest. Bibi did it to Gaza. Started it and blamed Hamas for it.

CRACKS IN THE SYSTEM

We’re finally seeing now that the problems in the Russian state, largely because it’s an administrative dictatorship, are deeper and more profound than we realised.
Putin doesn’t have the bandwidth to cope with making every decision. The government works in silos. The military

It is illuminating that NATO members support Israel despite its aggression against a defenceless Palestinian people

NATO is no longer a defensive alliance
